Introducing the CGR Automotive Stainless Steel GT86/BRZ Exhaust. We're going to post up some pictures of the development system and go into some real depth to make sure we're clear on the extent we've gone to in order to make sure this is the best system on the market. Back-purge TIG welded to Aerospace standards; How the tube is prepared and welded is the most crucial part of the job. Every weld joint on our systems is TIG welded, however the difference between a good weld joint and a bad one is chalk and cheese. There are other systems on the market that have been TIG welded but none to this standard. The way we weld and fabricate our systems mean the joints are far stronger while being light and having NO restrictions. We could talk for hours about the fabrication process and how time consuming it is (we will tell you if you ask as long as you promise not to fall asleep). Differences between back-purged and none-purged welds when fully penetrated; As you can see back-purged welds leave no oxidisation. V-Band fittings The CGR system is held together with V-band connections not only to ensure an easy fitting and removal of the system V-bands are lightweight, with an extremely positive connection guaranteeing a perfect seal every time without the need for gaskets. This is usually a technique used in the motorsport market that we have used religiously in our race and road car systems since we began building exhausts as they are the perfect way to join the various exhaust components together. Fully Customisable for Individuality When we originally began developing the BRZ system, we 3D Laser-Scanned the underfloor of the car then CAD modelled the exhaust that we decided to run from the over-pipe backwards, removing the secondary CAT. To get that classic Japanese style we split the system down the middle and added two slightly upwards facing back boxes that are visible from the rear of the car. We then incorporated where the tailpipes and silencers would need to fit within the jigs, allowing for unlimited options to be spec'd without seriously affecting the construction process by using modular jigs, this allow us to adapt to fitting different silencer and tailpipe options. By having the CAD on-hand too, if we have any special requests that would not normally be catered for we can verify the amount of room and clearance we have in the CAD for whatever request we have without having to see the car or make modifications on the car. Split Pipe/Y-Pipe The pipe which splits the single system into two halfs is made in quite a special way, instead of just cutting two straight bits of tube together at an angle to separate the gas, we actually cut mandrel bends together at a perfect tangent to the rest of the exhaust. This is a lot of work and is possibly over-engineered however this gives absolutely no restriction and means the gas flows perfectly equally through both silencers before leaving the car. We felt that the extra work involved was 110% worth it in order to make certain the system was completely un-compromised and there were absolutely no restrictions or "hot-spots" of exhaust pressure. We weld and pack our own silencers in house, so although they look small they are extremely effective as we pack them very well with quality packing. And finally, the tail pipes! We appreciate 5” straight cut pipes might not be everyone’s cup of Saké, so the tips are completely up to you. Tailpipes can be made however you like, slash cut, rolled in, rolled out, burnt, square, oval, whatever it is get in-touch and we can quote for it. Pricing; The way we're going to price the systems will be as following, there's going to be a standard retail price for a single system on it's own, a 15% discount on the groupbuy if we get over 5 orders, and a massive 25% discount if we get 10+ orders.The price will be a base price which will include the following;2.5" GT86 / BRZ Exhaust systemTwo rear silencers and one centre boxRace tailpipes of your chosen size (dull polished stainless tubes as pictured on demo system)Larger silencers and multiple silencer configurations can be spec'd, silencers can be removed e.t.c to make more or less noise.RRP £1135 Groupbuy 5+ £965 Groupbuy 10+ £851 All prices include VAT but exclude shipping or fitting. There's probably a few things we've missed off but feel free to ask any questions, whether it's commenting on the post, PM'ing us, emailing or calling we'll try our best to get back to you ASAP!Thanks for reading, and hopefully speak to you soon www.facebook.com/cgrautomotiveinfo@cgrautomotive.co.uk01709 530871

Hi everyone I've seen a few forums to people wondering about lowering their GT86's/BRZ's. I've also had people watch this video and ask me further about how the car feels with these springs compared to stock. Firstly, the thumbnail to this video (which hopefully you can see) is after my car has had the springs fitted. Truth be told I measured the stock vs lowered height using my shoe rather than a tape measure haha. Also, the car corners flatter than stock, giving me more confidence in corners. I may make a future video with driving shots where I speak about this properly. Anyone of you with a lowered GT86 will ovbiously already know about having to slow down more than usual for a speedbump though! My car has been lowered 25 - 30mm at all 4 corners. Anwyways, enjoy the video

Good morning everyone & happy new year I'm Jordan, 19 and I live in London - I got my GT86 on December 22nd, and love making YouTube videos. (This is actually my second GT86 but we'll leave that bit out) As shown in my video, the car is red, 6MT, half leather/alcantara red heated seats, satnav, so quite highly specced However it won't stay stock for much longer! I'll be documenting all my experiences and modifications to my car on my YouTube channel, but thought I'd share it here to fellow 86 owners too Jordz
